Thieves Clear Out NJ Apple Store In 31 Seconds
theodp writes "An amazing surveillance tape of a burglary in progress at a New Jersey Apple Store shows five perps in masks smashing the plate-glass doors at 2:05 a.m., signaling to the security guard that they had a gun, and clearing off the display tables with the efficiency of a Indy 500 pit crew. The take: 23 MacBook Pros, 14 iPhones and 9 iPod touches in 31 seconds flat. Estimated value, based on average selling price: $46,345. No word yet on whether Microsoft's Laptop Hunters have alibis."
a load of gay porn they had dropped by accident. Defintly mac users.
Apple Store's next product release: iRobbed.

On the plus side, that $46345 of Apple hardware was only worth about $10000.
Some thieves broke into my college's computer labs and stole all the four-year-old iMacs. They turned their noses up at the brand new Dell Precisions in the same lab...
if they were smart, they would have stolen AppleCare too. It's a really good value.

The joke's on the thieves really. I hear that by the time they made it back to the hideout 13 of those iPhones had cracked displays.

Good thing they didn't shoot the guard though. Bet the judge would have given them iLife.

It was a beta test of the Apple's new Rapid Acquisition System. They're about to roll it out for use in providing businesses with their computing needs. Apple: Breaking down barriers and plate glass doors.
Good think those Macbooks have the magsafe connector for the power cord. Those thieves could have been looking at some costly repairs if they had been stealing Dells. Maybe that's their next commercial: "I stole a PC, but when I grabbed it the power connector broke, now it's like BEEP, BEEP, BEEP."
... also, I can kill you with my brain.
Why did I assume when I read the title of the post, that someone had cleared out and ninja'ed the App store on my iPhone. So I immediately checked to see if it was still there, in my iPhone. Owning apple products turns you into stupid.
Once again, a dramatic demonstration of Windows failure. I'm getting a little tired of these attack ads.
Steve Jobs notes the quick release power connectors, making the job up to 3 times faster than a PC.
Quoth CNN's article:
MacBooks: Laptops for a better class of criminal!
"The worst tyrannies were the ones where a governance required its own logic on every embedded node." - Vernor Vinge
Yes but those iPhones were treated incorrectly by the perpetrators. The one that exploded in the one guy's pants pocket was not supposed to be carried outside of a fashionable case. Everyone knows that sheesh.
He talks about the burglars being "savvy enough to wear masks" and being able to distracting an unarmed security guard. Last time I checked, these sorts of tactics qualified as being "not retarded," but not quite "criminal mastermind."
WORK for the money and not have the years in jail.
Nah, they aren't worried about spending too much time in jail. Last week they stole some iPhones and found out how easy it is to jailbreak.
"ass rapings. You know, from using the Macs."
They have the rounded corners, to make that slightly less painful.
Always thinking of the user Apple....
It's a Blowout Labor Day Mac Sale on newjersey.craigslist.org! If you miss this, you'd better be dead... or in jail... and if you're in jail, BREAK OUT!
Or better yet, the iChair.
Yo bro, thanks for the tip bro. We'll do it this way next time. -Tomi
I'm just waiting for one of the thieves to return to the same store trying to get service for one of the stolen computers.
I suddenly feel like a moron for wasting my time trying to find/keep legit or even grey-area work... wtf
god dammit, we all know the SI unit for shit is the Couric
IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
I didn't notice them picking up any chargers either, man are they gunna pissed when the batteries run out!

I've always said Apple has poor security. Look who's laughing now!!!!
still though , thats what I call some serious ipwnage
I'd go so far as to say...
GP was pointing out that, because they are black, they may have a harder time finding jobs (though, Jobs might just find them, after this). I doubt GP would be so brazen as to say because they are black they don't WANT jobs.
I mean, they stole Macbooks. They want Jobs. Very much.
APK quotes people (including myself) without context and should not be trusted. Just thought you should know.
Well it was catastrophic Windows FAIL that let the crooks into the secure area in the first place!

You should make sure to be specific if you order this one.
The robbers who cleaned out the Apple store were in such a hurry because it was almost happy hour at the gay bar.
You are welcome on my lawn.
if thats a prime example of a usa news report, no wonder the nation is "weird"...

Beware of too much involvement with magic. I have a feeling that it can make your caps lock key get stuck.
Also, make sure that you're patient. You don't want to end up like sweetcouplebang68, who commented:

You expressed my thoughts perfectly. I don't have any mod points, so I bought you a "mod you up" spell. It should begin to take effect within 30 days. I'm afraid I haven't had a mail yet, but it's such a powerful spell that I'm sure that she'll be "completely drained" for the next several days.

you need to include the time spent planning, fencing, and then looking over your shoulder
I spent 5 hours last week fencing, and all i have to show for it is a bunch of bruises and a broken sabre. Where's my $250,000?
They just need to cover the steel bars with a matte black cloth, topped with a gently pulsing white light.
I live in New Jersey, and I didn't even know we had an Apple Store. I didn't think my state was hip enough.
Random Thoughts From A Diseased Mind (Not For Dummies)
Probably however if Apple was really smart they woudln't have put an Apple Store in New Jersey... What where they thinking.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
I'm still trying to figure out the proper method to get the Apple salesman to tear himself away from the young blond long enough to talk to me. Guess I'll have to stick with my new home-built AMD X4 machine.
